I highly recommend

I enlisted the expertise of Pilkington Communications during the second and third year of operations at Chester House Estate. The organisation played a key role in establishing our brand within the local community. They significantly grew and developed our social media presence and successfully orchestrated numerous press launches and media engagements, which greatly contributed to boosting visitor numbers and strengthening our commercial foundation. I highly recommend Pilkington Communications to any business aiming to expand its platform, connect with new audiences and build strong relationships with local press, bloggers and influencers. Their support has been instrumental in driving our growth and taking our organisation to the next level.

Helped us boost our profile

Pilkington Communications helped us boost our profile with messages about the positive impact we make as a social enterprise. Through their creative use of film, images and words, we have been able to reach a wide audience – something we would not have been able to achieve on our own. They have also supported us with awards and funding applications and helped us build relationships with some highly relevant key organisations. Their support has put us in a good position to grow as a business as we try to promote more active and sustainable travel.
